Let me say up front I have never felt afraid or unsafe where I live in Gun Barrel City. I don't put myself in dangerous situations, or hang out with those who would be considered dangerous. I have no fear.
I know all the facts about drugs and crime in my city. I just don't happen to see it in my neighborhood.
A brazen home invasion Sunday afternoon (story in Thursday’s Athens Daily Review) has left me to think more about my safety, and caused me to be on edge in my quiet little neighborhood.
This incident happened in Gun Barrel City four miles from where I have lived for almost 25 years. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
